Losing original SSC, HSC, or Alim academic certificates due to theft, fire, or relocation can halt university graduation and career prospects. Under official Education Board circulars in Bangladesh, applicants can independently secure a legally enforceable Duplicate Certificate by following three mandatory legal stages: Police GD, newspaper publication, and board submission.
Under the statutory framework of the Ministry of Education and Judicial Regulations in Bangladesh, administrative rectifications and affidavits are legally enforceable instruments to resolve credential discrepancies.
For all regulatory, visa, and education board purposes, affidavits sworn before a 1st Class Judicial Magistrate carry absolute legal evidentiary value, far exceeding standard Notary Public attestations. These are executed on 300 BDT non-judicial stamp paper in open court.
If academic credentials are lost, complete three statutory steps: 1. File a General Diary (GD) at the local police station, 2. Publish a lost credential notice in a national daily newspaper, and 3. Submit an online application with a Magistrate Affidavit to the relevant Education Board for a fresh duplicate certificate.
Have your property disputes, bail matters, family issues, or litigation documents reviewed in person by Advocate Md. Shah Alam at Uttara or Dhaka Judge Court.
Applicants require original academic transcripts, bilingual digital birth certificates, verified parent National Identity Cards, and valid Passports. Statutory expenses include 300 BDT non-judicial stamp duty and prescribed institutional fees.
